Sending file "filename.txt" from Windows to Linux.
Can't use the text transfer option because contents may not be converted.
But file must be converted with dos2unix to handle CR/LF.
So at destination agent I defined post call as type program and executable dos2unix and parameter /target/dir/*.
Strange thing now is that there are two files saved in the target dir.
One is called filename.txt and the second is filenamea.txt, but they are exactly the same. None of the files is converted.
What am I missing. |

Why not, may I ask?
The text transfer option is designed to save the pain of using tools like dos2unix.

It is a requirement of the user that the text is not converted.
Being an international company we have to deal with several languages
from all over the world. |

If you don't convert, how do you know what foreign language characters are being represented by the incoming character codes? 
How about using a code page on the destination FTE agent that supports conversion from all used characters in all used source code pages?

I found the solution. Maybe this helps if you are facing similar problems.
Dont use a wildcard like this: /target/dir/*,
but use /target/dir/${FileName} instead and don't batch trigger files in your monitor. If there are more files transferred at the same time only the last one will be converted. |
